Many factors can affect the display of a PDF on the web, including damage to the PDF; how the website displays the PDF; the version of Acrobat, Reader, or the browser; security and cookie settings; or the status of the server on which the PDF resides. Try the suggestions below as your first troubleshooting steps.
Open PDF directly in Reader or Acrobat (quick fix)
If the PDF appears as a clickable link, you can often save the file to your desktop and open it directly. Downloading the file is a quick solution to get you going without further troubleshooting.
- Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) the link to the PDF file.
Choose the appropriate save or download option. The options vary depending on your browser:
- (Internet Explorer) Save Target As
- (Firefox) Save Link As
- (Safari) Download Linked File
Make sure Adobe Acrobat Document is selected for the file type, and save the file.
Note:
If you don't see a Save As dialog box, your browser could have opened a separate downloads window and downloaded the file automatically.
Locate the saved PDF, and double-click the file to open it. If your browser opened a downloads window, double-click the PDF in the downloads list.
